Almost everything was quiet today. Solar Wind Speed stayed below 400 km/sec; Electron Saturation hovered around its Alert Threshold, but only briefly crossed that line. . NOAA’s expecting tomorrow and early 6/24 to be similar to today, until the next CH HSS arrives, followed by […]
An Incoming Sun Spot has gained size and strength over the past 2 days, and is now capable of tossing M Class Solar Flares, which is did twice today. NOAA’s evaluating a CME from the M6.2 Solar Flare to see if it’s Earth-bound. We’ll know […]
Woah, happening NOW: M6.9 solar flare from AR 4473 near the Sun’s eastern limb. Possible a CME has also been produced, and with a wide enough eruption, some glancing effects at Earth could be possible (though unlikely). This AR has really ramped up activity!
GIANT DARK GASH IS TURNING TOWARD EARTH Multiple coronal holes are now rotating into Earth-facing position, and several are lining up near the Sun’s equator. That puts Earth in a position where high-speed solar wind can have a more direct path toward our planet in […]
Active Region 4473 produced a moderate M2.69 solar flare that peaked at 15:21 UTC today. This event caused a minor (R1) radio blackout, primarily affecting the sunlit side of Earth. As of now, no significant Earth-directed coronal mass ejection (CME) has been confirmed in association […]
CH HSS arrived about 6/19 @ 2.40a CDT, taking our Solar Wind Speeds up to ~400 km/sec for the day. No other disturbances were noted in the charts, except Electron Saturation hovered around its Alert Threshold for a few hours. The next 3 days should […]
. Most of the Space Weather impacting our planet was calm today. Solar Wind Speed finally got below 400 km/sec, Electron Saturation finally dropped into its Normal-Moderate pattern, everything else stayed at comfortable levels. . NOAA’s expecting the incoming CH HSS to be mainly a […]
